Thank you for putting into words what I have been going through personally in regards to the internet over the last at least 5-6 years. Funny, now that you mention it, where are all the old farts on the internet? Where did they go? How is it that a whole class of people can just stop interacting and nobody noticed? Suddenly, I don't feel like the grumpy old codger of an asshole I have been dealing with as I walk away from the toxic swirling drain of garbage that is the Internet. Nothing in the online space is really worth the bullshit any more and I have better stuff to do that is actually worth spending my time on. Your words have helped me and for that I will be eternally grateful. Be well.But then, I've been having online debates since before you were born. My first "internet" experience was using an acoustic coupler to dial into the University of Colorado to play a MUD on a terminal whose only output was a daisywheel printer. I missed being OG "eternal September" by a year. And what I've noticed over the past ten years (but not the past twenty, and not the past 25) is the retreat of anyone over 30. It didn't used to be this way. It started when GenZ hit college.
So those of us who remember? Those of us who know? We're left with a choice - figure out how to tell you that you're wrong in such a way that your feelings aren't hurt... or find something better to do.

It is interesting to pick a small county in BanjoStan and see where the kids fled to. Even still, I was interested to see that most people stay in the same state.
yep PDF warning, but a facinating read. Climate change is impacting shareholders which means we have to acknowledge its impacts now.
CNN Polls: Democrats hold the upper hand in Arizona, Tennessee Senate races Fucking autoplay video warning. This shit is better than Porn.
Wednesday is Pubski day where there tends to be a long thread with more engagement. Start there to learn the community. If you see something interesting, jump in.
I'd touch myself if the Trump rally on October tanks him. I'd do a happy dance at least. Cruz hates Trump and now is counting on Cheeto to save his ass. Glorious.
Glad to see Mare Cognitum is on there.
40 years ago Today this was released.
This has me all kinds of excited in ways I have not been in years for a video game.
This article skips around the real truth of the matter... There are too many college students.
Sorry for the snark, but glad I can help? lol.
He's working 200 hours a week and his personal life is unraveling into a divorce and who the hell knows what else. The guy needs to go to Switzerland, sit on a mountain off of all human interactions and just vegetate for a week to recharge or he's gonna lose at least one of his companies.
Buying fake dislikes is a thing as well. One of the channels I watch ran into the problem debunking garbage Kickstarters.
1874... Does anyone edit their shit any more?But some of New York City's glory has faded since the late 20th century. It lost the mantle of having the tallest building in the world when Chicago built Sears Tower (442.1 meters / 1,450 feet) in 1874, and New York City hasn't reclaimed it since and won't likely anytime soon.

This is starting to give me a Skyscraper Index vibe. Stocks are shit, bonds are flat, where else are you going to dump money?
